Dr. Schuster from day one made me and my son feel comfortable. After surgery he made sure we had all the items necessary for My son to transition back to the new norm of temp living. He takes time to explain things. You do not feel rushed and feel comfortable asking questions. He anticipates the patients needs and makes sure you have everything you need to begin your process of healing. This visit was superb as all other visits.
